Q: iCloud shows up twice in my notes
After upgrading to OS 10.8, iCloud shows up twice on my Mac's notes, doubling all my notes. How can I get rid of the second (identical) account?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion

I had the same problem and was able to fix it by doing the following:
1. Open System Preferences
2. Open Mail, Contacts and Calendar
3. Select your iCloud account on the left side and remove it
* it will asks you if you'd like to remove the data from the mac for each item in iCloud that you have synced; say yes to all of them. It doens't delete them from your iCloud account, just your mac.
4. Reboot
* if you check your notes now, they will still show up; don't worry about that.
5. Open System Preferences
6. Open Mail, Contacts and Calendar
7. Add an iCloud account or sign back into it.
8. Select all the items that you want synced up.
Your notes duplicates should be gone and syncing should resume.
Let me know how it goes!
